I think that ship sailed and I'm pragmatic enough to accept it. The web is an application platform, not a web of hypertext content. That's not going to change, and I've given up on the idea to even try to "go back" there. If it worked, you'd just have half of websites be "sites" that work without JS, and half would be "apps" which would require switching on JS? The whole reaosn the web took off as it has is because we removed the distinction between "web app" and "web site". There's no putting that genie back in the bottle.
